Measurements of seismic waves over many years suggest the Earth's core is deformed and reshaped by conditions of extreme heat ...

Ancient volcanic rocks reveal how two giant hot regions beneath Africa and the Pacific have shaped Earth's magnetic shield.

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

The continent-sized blobs are much hotter than the lower mantle, creating a significant temperature gradient in the rocky ...

Most of the time, the shape of Earth’s magnetic field is quite similar to that which would be produced by a bar magnet ...

Researchers have found evidence that Earth's core is leaking gold and other precious metals, according to a new study. The vast majority (99.9%) of Earth's gold and other precious metals are hidden in ...

Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found. A new study of isotopes found in the volcanic rock that oozed out from deep under ...

Gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth’s core into the layers above, eventually making their way up to the surface during the formation of volcanic islands like Hawaii, a new study ...
